I’m sure you’ve heard about the toy drive Cardinals Academic Literacy teacher Ms. Kissel started. But who were the driving force behind this?
Seven sixth grade girls started a club called GHTW, Girls Help The World, to prove that girls can make just as much of an impact as boys. The four girls who were able to give us the information about the Toy Drive, and why they wanted to do it were Bella, Hannah, Jossalyn, Anneliese. The motto they go by is “Be Kind to Everyone,” and they started the Drive mid-semester in February, and it will continue up until May 9, when they donate the 300 toys they have raised to Janet Weis Children’s Hospital. That’s right. 300 toys. 7 people. They said they don’t plan to stop at the toy drive, either.
GHTW plans to continue, and keep working to show girls are great. If you have an idea about a problem in society that needs solved email your idea to Mrs. Kissel.
